Airline travel is cheaper when you plan ahead
By Oma Zadeh
Staff Writer
If you have not already bought airline tickets home for Thanksgiving weekend, be prepared to pay a premium price.
"The prices are getting progressively worse," said Ain Thomas, director of USC Travel Service. "Fifty percent of the people coming in are buying tickets, even though they are paying more and are changing their schedules."
Reserving seats two to three weeks in advance would secure schedule arrangements and inexpensive tickets, Thomas said.
"Our job is getting people cheap fares across the U.S., and it's up to them to decide what they want to do," Thomas said.
He said getting tickets now is a balance between what people can afford and the flexibility of their schedules.
“People wanting to leave on Wednesday and return Sunday will be paying through the nose," he said.
Melinda Gilroy, travel consultant at University Travel, said that all.Thanksgiving advance purchase fares are already sold.
"There is a $100 to $200 difference between the advance purchase fares to the east and purchasing a ticket now,” she said. "Tickets to San Francisco are $158 to $336 when 21 days ago they were $68."
Thomas said the lowest fare available will cost 10-25 percent more than tickets purchased two weeks ago.
While some students cough up the money to book last-minute flights at inconvenient times, others find the airlines have priced them out of the market.
"I am not going home for Thanksgiving because I waited too long to reserve a ticket and now it is too expensive," said Eboni Govan, a junior majoring in journalism. "I tried to book a ticket to Washington D.C. now and it was $500. When I called a couple weeks ago it was $350."

Deans comply with freeze
Schools confirm hold on new hiring
By Kim Wilner
Staff Writer
Several university deans said this week that they would attempt to comply with the hiring freeze suggested by Provost Cornelius Pings and place a cap on hiring new personnel until the university is in better financial standing.
"We will be looking to be as conserva-
tive as we can for the remainder of the fiscal year," said Rino Patti, dean of the School of Social Work.
He said that though the school is in a healthy budget situation right now, it is still trying to work within the university's overall monetary situation.
"We have no immediate plans for annual hires right now," Patti said. "Should
one of our faculty leave, we would normally hire someone to replace them, but in this situation we might not. We've been asked to cooperate as much as we can, and I want to do that.
"Of course no one likes the fact that (the university) is in a deficit, and at this point we must ask if it could have been avoided. From everything I've heard, it couldn't have. So we must work together to be as cooperative as possible," Patti said. (See Freeze, page 3)
Greeks ruled
responsible for actions
Three fraternities cited
By Liz Washburn
Assistant City Editor
The Greek Peer Review Panel met three times in October, ruling twice that fraternities are indeed responsible for the actions of their members, according to documents released by the Office of Student Affairs.
The university's Group Responsibility Doctrine states: "It is the duty and responsibility of every member of every fraternity to control the conduct of the other members of the fraternity when they are engaged in behavior associated with fraternity life ... It is the duty of every fraternity to create the proper atmosphere to insure that the fraternity-related misconduct does not occur."
In all three cases, the panel had to determine whether the act of misconduct was related to fraternity life and decide whether or not the doctrine was applicable.

LAPD called in to disperse crowd
Altercation on the Row produces tense group
By Joel Connable
Staff Writer
A crowd of about 100 people on the Row had to be dispersed by the Los Angeles Police Department and University Security Saturday night after a fight broke out involving members of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, security officials said.
A student from Diablo Junior College in Northern California sustained injuries to his face when he was involved in a fight in a nearby bathroom.
"The kid was bleeding from the face," security Sgt. John Lewis said. "That was the most serious injury on scene, and paramedics released him at the scene. None of the injured were transported to hospitals."
The fight sparked tensions in the street outside the ATO house, and security re-cieved a call complaining of a large crowd at 707 W. 28th St. and responded about 12:45 a.m.
Upon arrival, security officers found 75 to 100 people in the street and between 10 and 15 people on the sidewalk pushing and shoving each other, ready to fight,
